Okanagan Regional History Fair by Kelowna Museums

The coming weekend will be exciting for history students in Kelowna because the 4th Annual Okanagan Regional History Fair will be held in the city on April 16th and 17th, 2010. This fair is being hosted by Kelowna museums and over 40 grade four, five, and six students from School District 23, School District 22, and Sensisyusten House of Learning will be participating in this event. This year's sponsors for the fair include: BC Heritage Fair Society, Interior Savings, Kelowna Sunshine Rotary Club, Kelowna Rotary Club, Westbank First Nations, and media sponsor Shaw TV.

The Okanagan Regional History Fair is an exhibition of student work on a Canadian theme. Students prepare projects to tell stories and share information on Canadian people, places, and events. Students will present their projects to a panel of community judges on Friday, April 16th at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. But first, students will be treated to a morning of activities at Sensisyusten House of Learning which will include traditional Okanagan songs and dances, Indian tacos, and a performance of the Okanagan creation legend.

On Saturday, April 17th, the students' projects will be on display during the Open House at the Rotary Centre for the Arts at 421 Cawston Avenue from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The public is invited to the Open House to view the wide array of projects on display.

So, head down to downtown Kelowna this weekend with your kids and let them soak in bits and bytes of Canadian Culture. For more information call 250-763-2417.
